@freedomxxfighter

war on drugs is lost, and "drugs" can't be defeated by guns.This war is used as propaganda by dumb stupid extremists

Just legalize the drugs, and it will be the end of drug trafficking, street crimes, killing of border guards and police. The price will also go down when it's legalized, and then it will be less profitable to produce drugs. It will save a lot of costs such as fighting, jailing, persecuting these people. Instead the money could be invested in prevention programs.

Its not true so sad that such TV station brodcasting what Iranian mullah is saying . The peoples of Balochistan are living in borders same ppls with both side of borders divided by english now by iran & pakistan those 80000 prisner are mostlly political prisners . The only way of earning live bread is trade between borders rice,food oil ,Gas slinders,suger. sure there is drug smugglars but those have been helped by iraninian & paki borders forces.every borders station bought by big smugglars.

@MrAlaskanman I don't watch any mainstream news and have never thought of joining the military.... What's wrong with the military anyway? Seems like you watch a little too much Alex Jones if you really think the US is anything like Iran. I see where you're getting at though. On the road we're going down, it's not unlikely that's where we'll end up.... Don't know how things are up in Alaska but it's nothing like a police state where I'm residing. All we can do is vote Ron Paul.

@orangeblood307 Wake up there freedom fighter, you must be blind. Because this land of free is in a police state, has been for a while. Let me guess you watch fox news and, served the military!
